Chargers' LaDainian Tomlinson on HOF: 'It's hard to fathom'

Days away from joining football immortality, former San Diego Chargers running back LaDainian Tomlinson is starting to feel the jitters.

While hard to conceive his Pro Football Hall of Fame bust will forever be enshrined in Canton, Ohio, the thing Tomlinson is most excited about is representing his family name.

Tomlinson shed some light on his feelings leading up to the induction ceremony with Thursday Night Football’s Michelle Tafoya during the annual HOF game between the Arizona Cardinals and the Dallas Cowboys, per the Chargers Twitter account.

Tomlinson put together an impeccable career with the Chargers, rushing for 12,490 yards and 138 touchdowns in his nine-year tenure in San Diego and was named the league’s most valuable player.

Along with Tomlison, former St. Louis Rams quarterback Kurt Warner, former Denver Broncos running back Terrell Davis and Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones are also getting inducted into the HOF on Saturday.
